I find myself remembering a futuristic movie where whenever you opened your medicine cabinet, you were asked if you were alright by the gov’t. If we fail to elect people who understand the value of privacy and how it relates to security, there’s a very scary future coming.Respectfully,C.
@Respectful Troll: I offer these examples of interesting new tech… Implantable RFID chips, Implants and wearable skin patches that monitor body functions, Motorola’s new skin patch Tattoo/Bluetooth interface, prototype battery implants that use body fluids to power implant devices. I expect implanted computer/WiFi devices in the next ten years. When everyone is “connected” there will be no privacy.
Interesting that Orwell had “models” like J. Edgar Hoover to choose from for the “invasion of privacy”, but the technology today is all that’s really “new”.

Another way to fight terrorism is for all nations to retreat back to their borders and mind their own business.
